The Home Depot Canada Foundation
A Heartfelt Thank You to The Home Depot Canada Foundation and Their Incredible Team!
Everyone at Rising Above is incredibly grateful for the overwhelming generosity and support shown by The Home Depot and their amazing team!
Thanks to their donation — valued at more than $2,000 — our organization received a beautiful selection of flowers, shrubs, patio furniture, and yard tools. But their kindness went even further. A fantastic crew of Home Depot volunteers also gave their time and energy to help us plant vibrant flower beds in front of our Park Campus building. Their hard work has completely transformed our outdoor space into something truly special — warm, welcoming, and full of life.
This all began when one of our dedicated volunteers visited local stores looking for ways to brighten up the front of our campus. At The Home Depot, she connected with a generous and compassionate staff member who not only arranged this donation but also introduced us to The Home Depot Canada Foundation. Through this amazing initiative, Home Depot associates are empowered to give back to their communities through renovation and beautification projects that support safe, secure housing across the country.
We are incredibly thankful for this support. The impact goes far beyond the value of the donation — it has brought encouragement, dignity, and beauty to those we serve. The Home Depot’s contribution has made a lasting difference, and we are truly honored to have been chosen as a recipient.
From all of us at Rising Above: thank you for helping us plant more than just flowers. You’ve helped us plant hope.

Accreditation on Process
We’re excited to share that Rising Above is currently in the process of becoming accredited through the Canadian Accreditation Council (CAC)!
Accreditation is a powerful step forward—it strengthens organizations by implementing sound policies and integrating them into daily operations. When an organization is grounded in strong, effective practices, every level—from leadership to frontline service—benefits.
Through this journey, we are demonstrating our commitment to excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement. We're not just working toward a certification—we're building a stronger foundation for the people and communities we serve.
Stay tuned as we continue this important journey toward accreditation and organizational excellence!
